people confuse me , it's a roguelike ? or a roguelite ?

[X-oR.Belgium...]

I see lot people talking about roguelite, so this game have progression/levelling character between Run ? or it's a roguelike : you start all over without progression ?

[F3]

Its a roguelike. If you die during a run you start from level 1 with nothing again

Ok thx , i was confuse :-)

By most definitions a roguelike has to literally be a top-down turn based dungeon crawler. So I think not.

Incorrect

Roguelikes have no progression of any kind, roguelites have things that unlock. Things unlock in this game. It's a roguelite.

It's a rouguelike, every run you start from lv 1 no items. By some people's definition of what a "true rouguelike" is, being able to unlock a new character or skill would mean you "got progression" and thus would invalidate it.

People just like to use the word with an L instead of a K so they can feel smarter than others around them.

Yeah, I would consider anything with unlockables to be a lite

Roguelite is more you spend coins you get to increase your health, items you start with and other upgrades that will help you next round.

IIRC all those modern permadeath games we have today, since Spelunky, are Roguelites. Roguelikes are usually turn based and session takes more time, and you dont have permanent unlocks.

Lots of people disagree with this and some people literally don't want to call a Roguelike something that isn't turn-based, top-down, dungeon-crawling and grid-based movement.
But like stated above the most common/convinient answer is

• Roguelike : Do not have meta-currency to buy things outside of a run that will alter said run
  
• Roguelite : Has some kind of meta-currencies/upgrades that makes a new run with some kind of upgrade/downgrade

Which is what people often use as tags on Steam making it easier to reference and find games that you want, so pretty convinient.

My college thesis will be about roguelikes vs roguelites

[Null Winter]

It's neither; this game isn't a turn-based, top-down dungeon crawling RPG that erases your entire save file on death, so it's nothing like 'Rogue' at all.

Words change or are being used differently sometimes for convinience; especially old ones (like that Rogue game).
If you stick to the old rules then every literal game in the world is an RPG because they are Games where you Play the Role of someone/something..

Unless you find that a good thing..

It's a roguelite with no meta-progression
